Compared to the two fairies, Natsu is truly slaying a dragon!

The area affected by the flames was simply too vast.

As a result, all the various spells cast against Henna were engulfed and consumed by the massive amount of flames.

Not even a spark could be generated.

[A crimson light! Filled the entire guild building!]

[It was also reflected in everyone's eyes.]

【boom! ! ! 】

The next moment! In Oak City, almost all the residents who were already asleep could clearly hear the terrifying roar that seemed to pierce the sky.

People who are still sleepy can see clearly through the window.

A massive explosion erupted from the most opulent castle in the city center, within the Spectre Dominator guild.

The dazzling flames even destroyed a fifth of the castle.

A thick mushroom cloud slowly rose above the castle.

[Is this... a terrorist attack??]

At that moment, the same thought arose in the minds of all the residents of the town.

At the epicenter of the explosion, flames engulfed the earth.

The surviving Phantom Mages struggled to push away the broken stones that were pressing down on them.

[They stared in horror at everything before them.]

The ornate decorations and familiar architecture have vanished.

Instead, there were ruins everywhere and flames burning everywhere.

It was rising black smoke and dust.

[It was a companion burned to a crisp...]

[And then there's that terrifying monster standing not far away, shrouded in fire and smoke!]

Terror gripped the hearts of all the surviving mages at that moment.

"Monster...monster...this guy..."

Some people simply cannot bear such a hellish scene.

They had no intention of resisting whatsoever, or rather, they simply couldn't muster the courage to resist in the face of such a monster.

"Run! Run! Run!"

"Monster! This thing isn't human, it's a monster!!"

"Help! I'm going to die... I'm really going to die..."

Accompanied by hysterical screams, the remaining mages scrambled and crawled in all directions in a frantic escape.

This might be their only smart move; by splitting up, at least... they wouldn't be caught in one fell swoop.

【but. 】

"There's no escaping it..."

Black Natsu's nose twitched slightly as he remained stationary.

He memorized the scents of everyone present.

Then, his gaze locked onto the person closest to him.

Without the slightest hesitation, he strode off and gave chase.

Honez never liked to break his promises.

[I said everyone present must die, so I won't spare anyone.]

[As long as Gajeel or Joseph doesn't show up, then...]

There's no way anyone could have survived!

Even if Joseph and his men didn't care about these people's lives, it didn't matter.

The Ghost Guild isn't just based here; it has branches all over the country.

If you kill ten people, they won't come out; if you kill a hundred people, they probably still won't come out.

[So...what if you kill a thousand people? Or ten thousand?]

[It doesn't matter, we can take it slow. Anyway, Henna has never held himself to the standards of a saint.]

[He... is a genuine demon! Part 5]

Chapter 221 A Citywide Cat-and-Mouse Game, The Demon's Slaughter!

A scene from the celestial display.

Like a bombshell, it completely ignited the world channel.

Miriamina: "This... isn't this a bit too much? *meow*"

One Night: "Men~ Although I also think that it was right for Honez to take revenge, but... the methods used this time were indeed a bit cruel."

The blue celestial horse rang out: "Based on what was shown in the sky, just that one attack killed at least fifty people. Fifty lives... that's really going too far."

Gerald: "Is that too much? You guys are too lenient. If you ask me, there's absolutely no problem with this."

Ultear: "Indeed, I won't offend others unless they offend me. Given Honatsu's personality, I'm not surprised that he would do something like this."

Melty: "I remember, back in the Galactic Empire, Hanaz said something similar, didn't he?"

"His principle is that if he doesn't act, he doesn't act at all; but if he does, he must make others fear him. He doesn't care how many people he kills."

Gerald: "That's normal. This guy is the kind of person who doesn't care about anyone except the people he cares about."

Hades: "I actually admire this Honaz. Sometimes, you really can't be indecisive; you have to be decisive!"

"If you dare to attack my guild, I dare to retaliate, tenfold! A hundredfold!"

Eileen: "You're right. Sometimes, being too kind isn't a good thing."

"That would only give others an opportunity to continue infringing on your rights."

The visuals on the sky continue.

Oak City.

This is a town that can rival Magnonia.

The reason for this is that within this city resides the ruler of the Spectre guild, one of the strongest guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore.

Therefore, it has greatly boosted the town's economy.

[Its prosperity even surpassed that of Kunokas, the royal capital, at one point.]

This shows just how important the Phantom Lord is to this town.

But, today!

The town's pride, the ruler of the ghosts, seems to have encountered an unimaginable and terrifying attack.

A violent explosion resounded through the sky.

The flames rising from that luxurious building illuminated almost half the town in the dead of night.

Countless residents were awakened from their deep sleep.

[She looked out the window with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.]

Even more remarkably, some people went outside their homes, gathering in small groups of neighbors.

They were discussing what had happened to the ghost.

"Make way! Make way!!"

A sudden shout rang out from the street corner.

The crowd gathered in front of their homes stared in astonishment at the figure scrambling out from the street corner.

They recognized the guy too.

[A member of Spectre, a guy named Jayce.]

[A well-known Phantom Mage, considered influential among Phantoms.]

Surprisingly, he, who is usually so arrogant, is now fleeing in such a sorry state.

This seems to further prove that something extraordinary has definitely happened to the ruler of the Phantom Lord.

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!!"

Jess struggled through the crowd and staggered forward.

His head kept turning back, his terrified eyes fixed on the calm space behind him.

It was as if...some great terror was chasing him.

"Ah...it's here...it's here!!!"
